What is JAMstack?

A Simplified Way to Make Web Sites and Apps

“[JAMstack is] a modern web development architecture based on client-side JavaScript, reusable APIs, and prebuilt Markup” — Mathias Biilmann (CEO & Co-founder of Netlify).

JAMstack is what you get when you live in a world of vast content delivery networks that put your content on servers as close as possible to the people using it combined with web services for everything you could imagine ever needing some code on a backend server to run. In other words, there’s no need to own and maintain your own server when you can use a service that provides them for you.
